This exhibition provides an important opportunity for the young voices of our
Aboriginal community to be heard; and for our wider community to engage with the
thoughts, feelings and identities within this vibrant group of local First Nations youth.
For many of the students involved it will be their first time exhibiting their work in a public
gallery space and an opportunity for them to view and applaud their work outside the
classroom.
This exhibition is part of our commitment to provide greater opportunities for local
Aboriginal youth to be supported and a sense of belonging to our region. It also assists in
creating pathways for the sharing of ideas, stories, knowledge and culture
amongst our community.
kangwano translates to "state/time of being young" in Dhudhuroa language.
